That girl in the article is me!!! I feel so lucky that my wait was short (3 months), because I now realize how sick I was. For all of us past and future transplant patients in the New England area, we are so lucky to have Brigham & Women's conducting all this fabulous research that I'm certain will get people better lungs faster.
I believe they've already done 2 or 3 perfusion cases (not actually transplanting the lungs into a patient yet), and once they've done 5 they can seek FDA approval. Hopefully they won't see too much red tape along they way.
